Barney Harwood presents the children's magazine and travels to Norwich to hear about a children's book, Gervelie's Journey, based on the experience of a girl refugee who escaped the conflict in the Congo. Go4it takes Gervelie back to her old primary school and talks to a group of year 6 pupils about what it would be like to have to leave home in a hurry and what the difference is between a refugee and an illegal immigrant, and asks Gervelie and the authors of the book, Anne Marie Young and Anthony Robinson, what it was like to write a book about it.
